We look at the division of 578962 by 46 
We want to divide 578962 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
46 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 46

On to step 2:
57 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 57, we get 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 46

On to step 3:
If we divide 118 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 92 from 118, we get 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 269 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 39.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 125.0
If we take 230 away from 269, we end up with 39.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 396 / 46

Step 5:
When dividing 396 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1258.0
If we take 368 away from 396, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 282 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 282 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12586.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 276 from 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12586.1
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12586.13
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
20 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12586.13
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 10:
46 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12586.1304
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12586.13043
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
46 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12586.130434
Subtracting 184 from 220 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12586.1304347
Deduct 322 from 360 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12586.13043478
Subtracting 368 from 380 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12586.13043478, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
